When will the bridge for maya plugin be updated to support maya2024 and maya2025?

With Maya 2024 you need to install pymel to make the plugin work (tested on mac and Windows). Maya 2025 crashes after installation of pymel, maybe because the Bridge plugin isn’t yet ready for it.
Open a command line and depending on your OS run the following command from the follwing path to install pymel.

First of all thanks for answering my question but Bridge for Maya plugin currently only supports maya2023? How does this work

Just checked again on Maya 2024 for Windows and can confirm that it works. MS Plugin version is 7.1.5.
After installation of pymel for Maya 2024 the plugin should be configured and work the same way as with Maya 2023.
It’s not expoting metahumans though. I succesfully followed your tutorial on installing pymel and it started appearing in my maya. But when i click send to Maya in bridge - nothing happends. Just exported sucescfully but the project is blank
Just tested again on my Windows system in order to confirm that at least the export of 3D assets and surfaces to Maya 2024 works.
What is your currently installed version of Bridge?
Same issue here.
I am using the latest bridge version (2024.0.0).
For Maya 2025 the plugin is not working! Either pymel needs to be updated to support Maya2025, or the Bridge plugin needs to be completely re-created to support Maya without the use and requirement of pymel.
Mesh export works. It’s the metahuman export that does not work. I contacted Quixel support and they confirmed it is currently not supported and they have no idea when it will be.
Someone created a fork from the official github repo for pymel and added support for Maya 2025. But the Bridge plugin still doesn’t work.
check this guy github link , this works 100%
bridge is working in maya 2025 after using this
This is not a github link, also I cannot find such a repo on github. Has anyone tried whether this works?
Thanks.
This is the github link , it worked for me
I got this mostly working in 2025 but I can’t load the two plugins because I assume they need to be compiled specifically for 2025. Any idea on when that’s coming? I need them to work in order to use the metahuman facerig.

With some file adjustments, the plugin does import assets into maya2025, except meteahuman don’t import, if anybody can find a solution to this for maya2025, please let me know.
It’s frustrating that Epic and Quixel haven’t updated the plugin - even for Maya 2024!
And the help page keeps moving. It seems to be currently here - on a weird sub-page of Fab?

I contacted quixel support and they said metahumans only work till maya 2023, rest you can import in maya 2024 and with the help of the files , we can import assets in maya 2025
And there is still no way export directly to Maya2025?
